Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHOD: The study was based on 2100 kidney transplantation patients who had surgery between May 2008 and December 2012 and also on 1900 patients who had surgery by members of our team in other centers and who were followed up routinely. In all of our patients, the type of malignancy, the time that malignancy developed, immunosuppressive regimens, and viral status (Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus) were investigated. RESULTS: DISCUSSION: In this study, we did not find any increased post- transplantation malignancy risk in our patients. This finding could be due to the low-dosage immunosuppressive protocols that we used.
